What’s the format?
The Halo 3 tournament is a 2v2 event, with a total of 200 players competing in a Swiss-style group stage. All matches are best of one’s of Team Slayer, with points earned per win.
The top two from each group advance to the bracket, where best of three matches will determine the eventual winning duo.
First place at the event will net themselves $5,000 to split between the duo, with $3,500 for second and $1,000 for third.
The full list of participants is not yet available, but we imagine some seasoned players will be in attendance at the Chicago event.
